I grew up a skinny girl who never could gain weight and I felt really self-conscious about it.
It wasn't until my mid 20’s that I started doing things for me. What I mean by that is, taking care of my health and realizing that I am in control of me. I recognized that I could change what I do, how I do it, and ultimately, control my destination.

I was an active girl, and overall fitness inspired me. I loved the idea of lifting weights but was told so often, “That’s not very ladylike.
My phenomenal husband, whom I have been married to for 27 years, introduced me to lifting weights, and my life changed radically.

I quickly learned to manage my food. Combined with what I ate, what I lifted, how I lifted with correct form, helped me to gain proper weight on my skinny frame. I immediately build confidence and changed my attitude. For me, this feeling of empowerment allowed me to see the God given gifts that were hidden deep inside this insecure girl.

We as women are wonderfully designed. We are made with so many great gifts. The global sisterhood has never been more needed or stronger. As a community, we need to be sharing and encouraging other women around us. I know, for me, as a woman I want to feel my self worth. I love being be adored by family and friends and especially my husband. I know my sisterhood wants to feel like this as well.  

We want to feel beautiful, respected, loved and empowered. Imagine if we all embraced the power that we were born with and used it to make ourselves feel whole. How much different would your life look?

I'm here for you! To encourage, be ourselves in a raw state, be vulnerable and totally honest with each and every one so that we might raise each other up to be the best women we can for those around us. To be an example for the next girl who might need you to shine some light into her dark place where many of us live at times.

So let's do life together and encourage each other. Lets this be a safe place for us to come together, to straighten each other's crowns, and conquer our dreams. Nothing is impossible my friend, if I can turn Pro at 53 YOU can do anything your heart desires. I believe in you!
